Question Presented (OCR Extract)

A. Whether the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denial of Mr. Palladinetti's COA filing represents an issue of constitutional significance worthy of United States Supreme Court review based upon the following: Mr. Palladinetti's Section 2255 motion where Mr. Palladinetti adequately established that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance of counsel prior to the start of Mr. Palladinetti's bench trial, where he both failed to assure that Mr. Palladinetti read the entirety of the Stipulation of Facts document and in his subsequent failure to advise the Court of this fact and in failing to engage the Court in any dialogue and preserve the record concerning the Stipulation of Facts being tantamount to a guilty plea requiring court admonishment. B. Whether the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denial of Mr. Palladinetti's COA filing represents an issue of constitutional significance worthy of United States Supreme Court review based upon the following: Mr. Palladinetti's Section 2255 motion where Appellant Counsel was ineffective in his failure to raise the issue, on Direct Appeal, regarding the propriety of the Court's failure to admonish Mr. Palladinetti or conduct any colloquy as is required by Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. C. Whether the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals denial of Mr. Palladinetti's COA filing represents an issue of constitutional significance worthy of United States Supreme Court review based upon the following: Mr. Palladinetti's Section 2255 motion where Appellant counsel for Mr. Palladinetti was ineffective in his failure to raise and address the propriety and legality of the District Court's Criminal judgement entry against Mr. Palladinetti where there was no damage evidence presented by the Government nor was there any case evidence presented revealing that Mr. Palladinetti was the proximate cause of damages resulting from the unlawful conduct of certain unindicted co-conspirators. 2
